Florida

In spring 2008, we engaged in a media campaign that earned solar a good amount of attention in Tallahassee.

In February, we retained Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. to conduct a poll. The results are impressive:

A whopping 85 percent of those polled believe the Florida Legislature should act to encourage investment in solar energy; and
81 percent of those polled also said support that investment even if cost $1 extra on their monthly utility bills.

See full poll results.

State lawmakers and solar advocates held a news conference to discuss the future of public programs to promote Florida’s solar energy industry. See stories here:
